Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting Patch 198. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function until June 30, 2026. For more information, see the [ blog post ](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/amazon-redshift-python-user-defined-functions-will-reach-end-of-support-after-june-30-2026/). 

# ST\$1Point
<a name="ST_Point-function"></a>

ST\$1Point returns a point geometry from the input coordinate values. 

## Syntax
<a name="ST_Point-function-syntax"></a>

```
ST_Point(x, y)
```

## Arguments
<a name="ST_Point-function-arguments"></a>

 *x*   
A value of data type `DOUBLE PRECISION` that represents a first coordinate. 

 *y*   
A value of data type `DOUBLE PRECISION` that represents a second coordinate. 

## Return type
<a name="ST_Point-function-return"></a>

`GEOMETRY` of subtype `POINT`. 

The spatial reference system identifier (SRID) value of the returned geometry is set to 0. 

If *x* or *y* is null, then null is returned. 

## Examples
<a name="ST_Point-function-examples"></a>

The following SQL constructs a point geometry from the input coordinates. 

```
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Point(5.0, 7.0));
```

```
st_astext
-------------
POINT(5 7)
```
